Hélène in Paris, or simply Hélène, is a Parisian icon — a captivating symbol of elegance, glamour, and courageous resilience.
After a globe-spanning career as an ambassador for luxury brands and a TV columnist (alongside none other than Katie Couric), Hélène returned home to Paris in 2020. Amid the uncertainty of the coronavirus pandemic, she unexpectedly found her voice — and with it, a new path — using song to bring light and comfort to friends and loved ones in lockdown.
What began as a heartfelt gesture soon blossomed into a remarkable career shift. Introduced to the public through her debut single “Just Be You,” Hélène quickly earned recognition as a vital new voice in French music.
A finalist in Eurovision France and featured on Netflix, she’s become a regular presence on major French media, with appearances on Quotidien, RTL, and TF1’s 50mn Inside. Her acclaimed album Jamais dire jamais — featuring compositions from French pop legends Marc Lavoine, Bertrand Burgalat, and Léonard Lasry — captivated audiences nationwide. Now, she’s poised to enchant a global audience with the release of her first international single, “Christmas in Paris,” out October 17th via Kuroneko.
More than just another holiday song, “Christmas in Paris” is an invitation into Hélène’s world of elegance, joy, and timeless glamour. Recorded in the City of Light, the track blends modern pop production with classic melodies, delivering a holiday anthem that feels both fresh and nostalgic. Hélène’s distinctive voice shines with warmth, sparkle, and emotion, capturing the magic of Paris during its most enchanting season.
The official video, filmed at the legendary Maxim’s, adds a visual flourish of Art Nouveau beauty and festive chic, perfectly echoing the spirit of the song.
A love letter to Paris and a universal celebration of joy and togetherness, “Christmas in Paris” is a holiday soundtrack for the world — from the boulevards of Paris to the most intimate corners of the globe.
Hélène shares, “Christmas in Paris is my way of opening the doors of my city and inviting the world in. I wanted a song that makes people dream, that feels warm, joyful, and a little glamorous — just like Paris at Christmas. Every note carries that sparkle of light, celebration, and elegance that I adore about this season.”
“Christmas in Paris” is out October 24th via Kuroneko.
